Make it Tylenol to level up your special interest.

I’d settle for “Not the worst year”.

I’d say that capitalism manufactures the chains

Karma on reddit tracks the accumulated likes and dislikes a user has gotten on all of their posts. Lemmy does not have a number like that.

Edit: What this means in practice is that on Reddit there are some users who make a lot of low-effort posts to get that karma number to go up and get a sense of accomplishment from that (even when they get a negative reputation among the other users), whereas on Lemmy that’s not really a thing. Lemmy has power-users that become well-known, but they’re more well-liked because they aim to gain actual reputation instead of just farming a karma number.

I would just call him a child rapist. IMO that actually sounds worse than “pedophile” because you could apply the latter to someone who was attracted to minors but didn’t rape any.

Regardless of his attraction, he raped children, so he’s a child rapist.

I disagree with both of those takes.

The air at my workplace could definitely use more humidity.

Reminds me of the time Google decided that “Don’t be evil” wasn’t their vibe any more.

It definitely varies between people as well. For instance, my sister (with no genetic relation to me) has much better memory than me, which seemed almost superhuman to me when I was growing up. Although, I have since realized that my memory is much worse than average, to the extent where I probably have one or more memory disorders. I’m sure that some people have memory that is much better than average, whether or not my sister is one of them.

That is totally fair. That’s your preference.

Gacha games are indeed gambling. If you consider all gambling to be irredeemable, then calling them trash as a whole is reasonable I guess.

However, it is inaccurate to say that gacha games as a whole are just gambling. They have other qualities as well, with varying levels of investment and care put into them. Sometimes the effort they put into everything else is minimal and they are basically just gambling with a thin veneer of game on top. Other times, they put an absurd amount of investment into the game, story, and music.

MiHoYo, the developer of HSR (along with Genshin Impact and Zenless Zone Zero) are the later type. MiHoYo has more money than God, and it shows in their investment into their games. Their games are absurdly high-effort productions with more polish than any AAA game studio. They also have very good LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent rep, especially considering they’re based in China.

Personally, I am very averse to risk and uncertainty. I dislike the gambling aspect of gacha games (not just on principle, but also in my enjoyment). However, I still play some gacha games because I enjoy other aspects of them. So they’re not just gambling. But they are gambling, and it’s fair if people avoid them for that reason (especially people prone to problem gambling).

Heh, I know what Star Rail is. Specifically, Honkai Star Rail, one of the biggest gacha games. It’s a turn based RPG, like Raid: Shadow Legends but anime and with way more production value.

Or is it motivation to die at the peak of your health?

Estrogen doesn’t make someone a bottom. A lot of transfems are bottoms, but not because of estrogen.

I can’t find it on my Teams. F

At least he asked.

Thanks to American Exceptionalism we have both.

I had sort of the opposite as a trans lesbian. I thought that I was just really attracted to girls, but it turns out some of that was me wanting to be like them.

My waifu is in my username, actually, although it’s a lesser known character. It’s Mk23 from Girls’ Frontline.

Maybe there are stupid questions. :P
